W6N's Ireland V France, 7.30pm Fri 8th Mar Ashourne RFC. 2FM + RTE.ie

justsomebloke

After their Historic win against the English and claiming their first triple crown, Irelands womens team will face France this Friday in what could well be the tournament decider.

A win on Friday against France would leave only an away trip to Italy standing between them and an Historic first Grand slam for the womens side.

The game will be streamed live on rte.ie however tickets for the game are only €10 for an adult or €20 for a car of 4, for what should be a cracking game with a great atmosphere.

Ticket Details wrote:

Abroad at the moment so won't be able to go/watch, but best of luck to the ladies, and hopefully this will help the development of the women's game in Ireland.

COME ON YOU GIRLS IN GREEN!!!

molloyjh

I'm assuming it's perfectly ok for me to be more excited about this game than the one on Saturday!?

sydthebeat

Any one know any pubs around killarney / kilorglin who will stream this game??

CIARAN_BOYLE

Anyone know a city centre pub that's streaming this?

decisions

Pudsy33

DDC1990

Try France from a big maul. They are huge.

8-5

EDIT: 10-5 Conversion from the touchline.

BBDBB

French try in the corner (through the mist)

difficult conversion ahead - she got it

eyeball kid

France get a try back after a line out. Converted as well. 5-10 now.

Kristopherus

That stream is brutal , at least for me anyway and I am on a 18mbps connection:mad:

eyeball kid

Millar seems to have a good bit of pace. A couple of nice breaks from her.

I don't think its too bad. I've only got a 3G dongle and it reasonably ok for me.
You can select the quality in the bottom right corner, try in on High quality.

Lack of on screen score is pretty annoying.

DDC1990

Try Ireland 10-10 conversion to come!

Great start to the second half. Constant pressure.

EDIT: Straight through 12-10 to Ireland. Great stuff.

Anyone know how long is left?

DDC1990

Was wondering that myself!

EDIT: Clock showed 34 mins so 6 mins.

justsomebloke

Around 9-10 minutes left I think

eyeball kid

5 mins on the clock at the grounds but don't think they are stopping it for injuries.

prospect

Irl 12 - 10 Fra

5 mins remaining

DDC1990

Penalty Ireland in front of the posts very Kickable.

EDIT: ****e off the post!

eyeball kid

Pity, but the penalty was the right decision there. They've gone to the corner a bit too often when the line out was not functioning at all.

justsomebloke

Penalty was missed

ankles

They don;t stop clock for stoppages. looks good though

DDC1990

Another Pen. Has to be the last kick of the game.

15-10!

(Kickoff to come!)

Hermy

Nearly there...

DDC1990

OVER! GREAT stuff!

Grand Slam on the cards!

One more game!

decisions

Brilliant!

Kristopherus

Great result for the ladies. Hopefully they can win the Slam next week in Italy.

If the English women win tomorrow Ireland are guaranteed the championship. Slam on the cards for next week. Great to see an Irish side doing so well.

Brilliant news by all accounts.

Not counting chickens as the Italian team is strong this year but a very realistic chance of a slam here
